Stride Network Details
We believe that engagement of all people from multicultural backgrounds as active citizens in Australian society has significant and long-term benefits for them, their families, communities, and a diverse and socially cohesive Australia. Despite the challenges of the migration experience, people from migrant backgrounds are immensely resilient. They have a range of strengths and resources, including broad international and cross-cultural knowledge, multilingual skills, adaptability, a strong sense of family and community, high educational aspirations and a desire to enjoy and uphold the rights and responsibilities of Australia's democratic processes.They are eager to embrace the opportunities to actively participate in Australian society.The process of settling in Australia can be complex and regardless of age, and is best understood as non-linear, dynamic and not necessarily defined by the number of years since arrival in Australia. The experience of settling in Australia is shaped by many things, including the interaction between settlement and mainstream services, the broader community, peers, and the private sector. We are a network that exists for people from multicultural backgrounds to be active participants in and contributors in society.
